The Elqui Valley, Chile. It all started in the 1980s, when a mass of excited tourists arrived to this lost valley in the Andes Mountains to see Halley's Comet pass by, only visible from Earth once every 76 years.
Since there weren't enough hotel facilities, as the locals told me, many camped in the hills or even slept in their cars. As part of the spectacle, the national television station mounted a massive New Age art show on the side of a hill, which was converted into a natural amphitheatre. Everything was perfectly prepared, as people got ready for an once-in-a-lifetime experience.
